Scotia Travel Insurance

The plan if things don’t go as planned

Travelling can be a great way to experience something new. The ordinary becomes extraordinary and surprises can be part of the fun.

But what if you get ill or injured? Medical attention could cost thousands of dollars – and you could be stuck with the bill. That’s why there’s Scotia Travel Insurance. If you need emergency medical care while travelling, we can help take care of the cost1.

We have several travel insurance plans available to best suit your needs:

These plans provide you with emergency medical coverage in the event of an unexpected injury or illness.

Scotia Single Trip Emergency Medical Plan

When you are taking only one trip, this plan is ideal. There is also no age limit for this plan.

Scotia Single Trip Canadian Travel Emergency Medical Plan

Provincial health insurance plans have reimbursement limits on emergency medical expenses incurred while you are in another province. To ensure you have the protection you need, you should purchase additional medical coverage even while travelling within Canada. This plan is offered at 50% off the regular Single Trip Emergency Medical Plan rate.

Scotia Multi Trip Emergency Medical Plan

If you are travelling more than once in a 12 month period, a Multi Trip plan provides coverage for an unlimited number of trips over a one year period. Options for trip durations include 4, 10, 18, 30 and 60 days. You typically only have to travel twice in one year and the cost of your Multi Trip plan may pay for itself.

If you must cancel your trip due to an unexpected covered event1, this plan provides you with coverage up to the sum insured for your non-refundable and non-transferable pre-paid travel expenses.

If your trip is interrupted due to a covered event1, this plan provides you with reimbursement for your unused travel arrangements that are non-refundable and non-transferable, up to the covered amount.

In addition, the insurer can pay your additional and unplanned hotel and meal expenses, and your essential phone calls and taxi fares, to a maximum of $300 per day for up to two (2) days when no earlier transportation arrangements are available; and/or the insurer can pay your one-way economy class airfare via the most cost effective itinerary to your or your group’s next destination, or to return home.

The insurer can also pay for the change fee charged by the airline for your missed connection if this option is available, or up to $1,000 for the cost of your one-way economy airfare to the next destination.
